    Goals / Remit

    CEE Bankwatch Network is an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) with member organisations currently from 12 countries across the central and eastern European region.

    We monitor the activities of the international financial institutions (IFIs) which operate in the region and the spending of European Regional Development and Cohesion Funds in CEE, and propose constructive alternatives to IFI and EU policies and projects in the region.

    Bankwatch is working to prevent negative environmental and social impacts of IFI or EU financed projects, and promotes public participation and access to information about IFI activities and European cohesion policy across our region.

    Our goals:
    · To create public awareness about the activities of international financial institutions (IFIs) and EU regional development policies in central and eastern European countries and its social and environmental impacts.

    · To promote public participation in the decision making process about the policies and projects of the IFIs and EU funds, at the local, national and regional levels.

    · To help non-governmental environmental organisations and citizen groups to monitor what the IFIs are doing in central and eastern Europe and how investments fostered by EU development funds are planned and executed.

    · To change - or stop - the environmentally and socially destructive policies and projects of IFIs or EU funds in central and eastern Europe, and to promote alternatives.

    · To cooperate with environmental citizen organisations in order to stop the destructive activities of transnational corporations, and to limit their overall impacts on the environment in central and eastern Europe.

    Main EU files targeted

    We monitor the activities of the international financial institutions (IFIs) which operate in the region and the spending of European Regional Development and Cohesion Funds in CEE, and propose constructive alternatives to IFI and EU policies and projects in the region.

    Bankwatch is working to prevent negative environmental and social impacts of IFI or EU financed projects, and promotes public participation and access to information about IFI activities and European cohesion policy across our region.

    At EU level, Bankwatch aims to influence policy files relating to the EU budget such as the European Regional Development Fund and Cohesion Fund regulation, the Just Transition Fund regulation, and the InvestEU regulation; Bankwatch also aims at influencing the revised budget regulations published by the European Commission in May 2020.

    Other pieces of legislation stemming from the European Green Deal initiative, such as the Biodiversity strategy, the renovation wave and the Sustainable Europe Investment Plan (SEIP) are also of interest for Bankwatch and a subject on which it will interact with EU institutions.

    Bankwatch also works with EU institutions regarding the programming of the EU funds, regarding the drafting process of the National Energy and Climate Plans, their assessment by the European Commission, and their implementation by Member States.

    In its work relating to the EIB, Bankwatch influecnes and interacts with EU institutions regarding the various policy guidelines of the Bank such as the revision of climate energy and transport policies.
